Hoo boy, Candace is in London and is now defenseless. We subs will now see if we can get some Google hits with strong language and negative waves. For the record, I am Gene Maudlin, and I post as Old Horsetail Snake.

So, I am reading this Internet story about baseball players J.D. and Stephen Drew, who are brothers and are finally together in the Big Leagues, and playing against each other. And there is this sentence:

"Their parents flied in for the series."

Gack! We have out-sourced sports reporting.

Isn't it cute how much fun little girls can have with their dogs? Like this.

A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana, and sits down. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer. The bartender approaches and says, "We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings."

The bear, very angry, says, "If you don't serve me a beer, I"m going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar." The bartender says, "Very sorry, but we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings."

The bear goes to the end of the bar and, as promised, eats the lady. He comes back and demands a beer. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in Billings who are on drugs."

OBAMA FACTCHECK

I'm asking you to believe not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington ... I'm asking you to believe in yours. -Barack Obama

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.~ Sir Stephen H. Robertshistorian, 1901-1971

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."
